i dunno..i heard theyre pretty good firewood. but youll have to take the p.u.s off. hmmmm rouge. not worth $5. im not kidding. rouges should be shot. (this isnt a flame towards rouges. i would never want to put down a company..lol)
the output is bad, the sound is bad, the craftsmanship is bad, the frets are bad, the finish is bad... (yes i have actually played one) but jim makes a good point..if you wanted to smash something on stage or in a music video to look cool rouge would be it. just be carefull not to play it by accident.

I must add that it should be a felony crime to smash an
instrument, unless it's a Rogue! Love The Who, but it makes
me cry when I see instruments being smashed.

Here's what Rogue IS good for, however. If you're thinking
your equipment sucks, and you don't really have the money
to buy something better, go and play a Rogue - you'll be
much more satisfied with the equipment you do have. I'm
serious, I've done this and it works.

The Clash at first tucked in snugly behind punk's loudest
noise, the Sex Pistols (whom they supported on 'the
Anarchy tour'), and later became a much more consistent and
intriguing force. Guitarist Mick Jones (b. 26 June 1955,
London, England) had formed London SS in 1975, whose
members at one time included bassist Paul Simonon (b. 15 December 1956,
London, England) and drummer Nicky 'Topper' Headon (b. 30 May 1955,
Bromley, Kent, England). Joe Strummer (b. John Graham Mellor, 21 August
1952, Ankara, Turkey) had spent the mid-70s fronting a pub-rock group
called the 101ers, playing early rock 'n' roll-style numbers such as 'Keys To
Your Heart'. The early line-up of the Clash was completed by guitarist Keith
Levene but he left early in 1976 with another original member, drummer Terry
Chimes, whose services were called upon intermittently during the following
years. They signed to CBS Records and during three weekends they recorded
The Clash in London with sound engineer Mickey Foote taking on the
producer's role. In 1977 Rolling Stone magazine called it the 'definitive punk
album' and elsewhere it was recognized that they had brilliantly distilled the
anger, depression and energy of mid-70s England. More importantly, they had
infused the message and sloganeering with strong tunes and pop hooks, as on
'I'm So Bored With The USA' and 'Career Opportunities'. The album reached
number 12 in the UK charts and garnered almost universal praise. CBS were
keen to infiltrate the American market and Blue Öyster Cult 's founder/lyricist
Sandy Pearlman was brought in to produce Give 'Em Enough Rope. The
label's manipulative approach failed and it suffered very poor sales in the USA,
but in the UK it reached number 2, despite claims that its more rounded edges
amounted to a sell-out of the band's earlier, much-flaunted punk ethics. They
increasingly embraced reggae elements, seemingly a natural progression from
their anti-racist stance, and had a minor UK hit with '(White Man) In
Hammersmith Palais' in July 1978, following it up with the frothy punk-pop of
'Tommy Gun' - their first Top 20 hit. Their debut album was finally released in
the USA as a double set including tracks from their singles and it sold healthily
before London Calling, produced by the volatile Guy Stevens, marked a
return to almost top form. They played to packed houses across the USA early
in 1980 and were cover stars in many prestigious rock magazines. Typically,
their next move was over-ambitious and the triple set, Sandinista!, was leaden
and too sprawling after the acute concentration of earlier records. It scraped
into the UK Top 20 and sales were disappointing, despite CBS making it
available at a special reduced price. The experienced rock producer Glyn
Johns was brought in to instigate a tightening-up and Combat Rock was as
snappy as anticipated. It was recorded with Terry Chimes on drums after
Headon had abruptly left the group. Chimes was later replaced by Pete
Howard. 'Rock The Casbah', a jaunty, humorous song written by Headon,
became a Top 10 hit in the USA and reached number 30 in the UK, aided by a
sardonic video. During 1982 they toured the USA supporting the Who at their
stadium concerts. Many observers were critical of a band that had once
ridiculed superstar status, for becoming part of the same machinery. A
simmering tension between Jones and Strummer eventually led to bitterness and
Jones left in 1983 after Strummer accused him of becoming lazy. He told the
press: 'He wasn't with us any more.' Strummer later apologized for lambasting
Jones and admitted he was mainly to blame for the break-up of a successful
songwriting partnership: 'I stabbed him in the back', was his own honest
account of proceedings. The Clash struggled without Jones's input, despite the
toothless Cut The Crap reaching number 16 in the UK charts in 1985. Mick
Jones formed Big Audio Dynamite with another product of the 70s London
scene, Don Letts, and for several years became a force merging dance with
powerful, spiky pop choruses. Strummer finally disbanded the Clash in 1986
and after a brief tour with Latino Rockabilly War and a period playing rhythm
guitar with the Pogues, he turned almost full-time to acting and production. He
supervised the soundtrack to the film Sid And Nancy, about the former Sex
Pistols bassist Sid Vicious and his girlfriend Nancy Spungen. In 1988 the
Clash's most furious but tuneful songs were gathered together on the excellent
compilation The Story Of The Clash. They made a dramatic and unexpected
return to the charts in 1991 when 'Should I Stay Or Should I Go?', originally a
UK number 17 hit in October 1982, was re-released by CBS after the song
appeared in a Levi's jeans television advertisement. Incredibly, the song
reached number 1, thereby prompting more reissues of Clash material and
fuelling widespread rumours of a band reunion, which came to nought.

it the 50's my grandfather fell down a flight of stairs with his guitar, so as far i am concerned he invented it, the who comes in second. the clash? i saw the cover of london calling so i guess they did it, i saw a video were sid vicious did it but sid vicious doesn't count because he gets points taking off for being a junkie.

question for mark, dude did you cut and paste that from allmusic.com or ubl.com?

This is Discrepancy. I am not td1368 I don't even know who they are. I was told the Clash started smashing guitars. Whoever said smashing guitars is bad unless they are Rogues was right. I tried one out today just to see if you people were telling the truth. You were right. I could have made a better bass myself. The former bassist for the band I am in now, Discrepancy, (check out our website at http://www.elkcreeksports.com/discrepancy ) has a Rogue and he said it plays nice. But I think he was smokin' weed or something.

Back in college I was at a friend's house for a party.
This guy pipes up and says...
(dude) "I hyah y'all know somethin' `bout geetars"
(me) "Yup"
(dude) "Maybe you can look at this ol' 6-string I got and tune `er up"
(me) "OK"

dude goes into a back room and comes out totin' an old acoustic, backsidefirst.
It had a bea-ootiful brown finish fading to black at the edges.
I look up at the headstock and saw little, round pearl tuning knobs .
dude hands it to me. I start at the top, givin' it the once-over.
"Gibson" inlaid in M.O.P. at the top of the headstock. Down, down, I look.
The board's great. Sure enough, it's an old "L" series Gibson acoustic with f-holes
Wait a minute! The left "f" is OK, but the one on the right looks like somebody
took a dang hedge trimmer to it.

(me) "What the f*ck happened here dude ?!?"
(dude) "Oh yeah, huh-huh. My grand-dad used t' play bars `n such in Alaska,
and when he wasn't a pickin', he was whompin' rowdies upside the head with it. hyuk-hyuk".
I came real dang close to whompin' HIM upside the head with what was left.

My heart sank. There was a silence from my outburst and use of the "f" word.
I thought I heard a distant howl from George Gruhn .

It looked a lot like the 1924 L5 below at http://www.gruhn.com .
That one's VG+ condition. With the exception of that chewed f-hole,
the one I saw coulda' been E (excellent) .
The one below is goin' for...(gulp)...$40,000
